Davros, Attorney and Pieces of LawKeeping up appearances is a very important activity in religion; in fact, maintaining tattered illusions is its main activity. - Richard Wade, on Friendlyatheist.comWe make an idol of our fear and call it God. -Ingmar Bergman, The Seventh Seal

The Two "Essential Tennets" of The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster (I'm not too particular about this title, but it's the most religiousy meaning for "Requirements" that I can come up with)1Ye must remember the image of His noodley goodness 2and know that He likes to mess with your head.

Challenge anyone to close their eyes and describe the Flying Spaghetti Monster, and the 1st requirement is met, then ask them what they know about what he likes to do, and the 2nd requirement is met. That person is now a member of the CotFSM. :D

Praise be upon the Prime Purveyor of Pasta Perfection, may He touch you with His Noodley Appendage and Slather you with Savory Sacred Sauce as you gaze into His Majestically Monstrous Meatballs.
